FREDERICK RICHARD SIMMS, OF LONDON, ENGLAND, ASSIGNOR TO THE SIMMSMAGNETO COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

I-IIGH IENSION MAGNE'IO-ELECTRIC MACHINE.

To all whom it may con-cam:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK RICHARD SIMMS, a. subject of the King ofGreat Britain, and residing at VVelbeck Works, Kimberley Road, WillesdenLane, London, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in orConnected with High- Tension Magneto-Electric Machines, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to high tension mag.

neto-electric machines such as are used in connection withmagneto-elctric ignition gear for internal combustion engines and instood I will describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing,in'w hich:-

Figure 1 represents in sectionalelevation an armature of a high tensionmagnetoelectric machine having the improvements applied thereto, andFig. 2 is an end view thereof with one of the end plates removed.

a is the armature spindle, Z) is the armature mounted upon the spindleand 0, 0 the end plates thereof.

c, 0 are the cheeks of the armature, the said cheeks being extended inlength at one Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each,by addressing the ftommissioncr. of Patents,

end so that they projectbeyond the armature b and form a housing (Zadapted to re come the condenser e, the said ends and condenser beingpreferably surrounded by'a ring f, and the condenser being preventedfrom moving by means of the packing 9.

Claims v 1. In a high tension magneto-electric machine, the combinationwith the armature provided with separated lateral cheeks, and

end plates connected therewith, said cheeks being extended at one endbeyond the armature coil, to form a housing, of'a condenser fittedtightly between. said cheeks within said-housing and a ring surroundingsaid cheek extensions and condenser, said condenser being held by saidring and cheek extensions from movement and vibration with respect tothe armature during the rotation of the same.

2. In a high tension magneto-electric ma chine, the combination with thearmature provided with separated lateral cheeks, and

end plates connected therewith, said cheeks being extended at one endbeyond the armature coil, to form a housing, of a. condenser within saidhousing, packing located between said condenser and said cheekextensions, and t ring surrounding said cheek extensions and saidcondenser, whereby said condenser is heldfrom movement and vibra tionwith respect to said armature during the rotation of the same.
